What would you do?

I've been doing the online dating thing for a while now and having a great time. But today i log on to find a new message from a guy a winked at a while ago. Okay great... but he gives me his actual e-mail. I'm looking at it and thinking that name is really familiar.

Then it hit me I know this guy. I didn't recongize his picture... and he obviously didn't recognize mine. It wasn't like either of us should either... I work in the daycare that his son attended last year. So not like we were friends or anything. I do remember he was the nicest guy you could imagin though.

What would you do? I figure I'll reply and just be honest. Sheesh what are the odds.

If his son is not in your class now, there should be no problem.

I agree with the other answer - the 'you look familiar' one. But overall I think it would be great to date somebody you've already known a little bit. Less guesswork.

dont tell him you recognize him until just before you set a meeting.Once you get enough info tell him that he looks familiar and then ask if his kids go to that Daycare...
Tell him that b4 you meet so if he recognizes you and is not interested he wont agree to the meet. I hope you liked the kid too :)

Well the son is actually completely out of our center now so that isn't an issue at all. But as soon as i say what i do he'll know... the center i work in is the only french daycare in the city. Though i suppose since i already said in my profile i work in child care i don't have to mention it again right away. I honestly didn't recognize him from his picture... with out the e-mail addy i contianing his full name i never woulda clicked on who he was.

Oh and the son was a wonderful kid while he was with us... so no worries there.

I would be upfront about it when you talk on the phone. I think that's pretty cool actually... :o)

Hi,
Why not just reply and tell him that you remember him from daycare?
